Triller's Saturday night card is going to be an intriguing one, to say the least.
Evander Holyfield, former cruiserweight and heavyweight champion of the world, will fight again at the age of 58. And while his months of talk about a return seemed a little more sane when it appeared he would follow in the footsteps of Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. with a non-competitive exhibition, his bout against former UFC star Vitor Belfort will in fact be an officially-recorded professional boxing encounter.
Belfort's boxing debut was set to come against another legend, Oscar De La Hoya. The Golden Boy, however, was forced to withdraw at short notice and Holyfield stepped in. Also on the card, two other former UFC champions do battle in the boxing ring when Tito Ortiz faces Anderson Silva, while David Haye performs a brief un-retirement to face his entrepreneur friend and novelty fighter Joe Fournier.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of tonight's card.
